Due to constant breakage of the sewing machines, we're asking all users of Noisebridge's sewing machines—including the home machines—to take [https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/vljvjryzpbgb/ a training session] to learn how to use our machines properly and thereby not break them.

Part 1 teaches you basic fabric-cutting and sewing-machine knowledge—enough knowledge to be less likely to break our machines.
Part 2 demonstrates your knowledge by producing a simple tote bag. '''You must complete ''both'' trainings to be qualified.'''

Sewing machines require training to use without breaking them. If you want to use the Noisebridge sewing machines, sign up for one of the Sewing event nights and ask one of the organizers if they can schedule training with you or when the next training event is happening.

Due to frequent breakage of the sewing machines, we're asking all users of Noisebridge's sewing machines—including the domestics—to take a training session to learn how to use our machines properly.

The introductory training session is every 2nd Friday for all the sewing machines, and occasional Wednesday evening Sewing: Introduction to the Industrial Sewing Machines. Please sign up before coming for the event so we can limit classes to a manageable size and give everyone a chance to practice on the machines. There is often a waitlist, so if you are unable to make the session please cancel so that someone else can take your place.
